LLM Providers
Connect language model providers in AINexLayer
AINexLayer is model-agnostic: you connect providers, enable models, and choose them in chat.
Where to connect
- Open your workspace.
- Go to Workspace settings → Models, or click Manage models in the chat model selector.
- Add or manage a provider connection (API credentials as required by that provider).
- Enable the models you want available in the composer.
Why switch providers
- Cost — smaller/faster models for routine Q&A
- Quality — stronger models for analysis and long documents
- Capabilities — vision or image generation when those models are enabled
- Flexibility — try another provider without changing how you chat
Choosing a provider (practical)
| Need | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Everyday chat | Fast chat models, or leave Auto selected |
| Deep document analysis | Higher-capability chat models |
| Images in prompts | A vision-capable model assigned in Models |
| Image generation | An image-capable model when enabled for your workspace |
Provider names and available models are listed in Models. Pick from that catalog.
Credentials
Never paste API keys into chat. Only add keys in Workspace settings → Models.
